Q2 to Q3. Direction: Read the passage given below and answer questions:

When behavioral ecologist Liz Derryberry saw a news report of coyotes crossing the

Golden Gate Bridge in March, she immediately thought of her birds. For over a decade,

Derryberry has studied the white-crowned sparrow and how urban noise has disrupted and

degraded the species’ ability to communicate.

10 | P a g e

With most San Franciscans staying at home due to the coronavirus pandemic, she decided to

seize an unprecedented opportunity to study how this small, scrappy songbird responded when

human noises disappeared.

“I realized we gotta do this, and we gotta do this now,” she says.

By recording the species’ calls among the abandoned streets of the Bay Area in the following

months, Derryberry and colleagues have revealed that the shutdown dramatically improved the

birds’ calls, both in quality and efficiency. Male birds in particular rely on their songs to defend

territory and find mates.

“The songs didn’t change as much as we predicted—they changed even more,” says Derryberry,

of the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. “It highlights just how big of an effect noise pollution

has.”

The research, published today in Science, is among the first to scientifically evaluate the effects

of the pandemic on urban wildlife. It also adds to a burgeoning field of research into how the

barrage of human-made noise has disrupted nature, from ships drowning out whale songs to

automobile traffic jamming bat sonar.

Q2. What purpose do the calls of the birds serve?

A. They help them locate other birds.

B. They show them the direction during flight.

C. They help the male secure their territory.

D. They assist them in finding food.

Answer: Option C

Q3. The passage is primarily about the impact of the pandemic on .

A. whales

B. sparrows

C. coyotes

D. bats

Answer: Option B

Q4. The results of Derryberry and her companion’s research were unexpected because .

A. The bird songs became louder and better when human noises reduced.

11 | P a g e

B. The bird songs became fewer and less audible when fewer humans watched them.

C. It revealed that birds did not change their songs or their other habits.

D. It showed that birds migrated from their original homes due to the pandemic.

Answer: Option A

Q5. Which word does the writer use to describe the extent of research on normal pollution?

A. Disrupted

B. Improved

C. Burgeoning

D. Drowning

Answer: Option C

Q6 to Q9. Direction: Read the passage given below and answer questions:

Archaeology is based on the scientific method. Archaeologists ask questions and develop

hypotheses. They use evidence to choose a dig site, then use scientific sampling techniques to

select where on the site to dig. They observe, record, categorize, and interpret what they find.

Then they share their results with other scientists and the public.

Underwater archaeologists study materials at the bottom of lakes, rivers, and oceans.

Underwater archaeology encompasses any prehistoric and historic periods, and almost all sub-

disciplines as archaeology. Artifacts and features are simply submerged.

Artifacts studied by underwater archaeologists could be the remains of a shipwreck. In 1985,

National Geographic Explorer-in-Residence Dr. Robert Ballard helped locate the wreck of RMS

Titanic, which sank in the North Atlantic Ocean in 1912, killing about 1,500 people. Ballard and

other scientists used sonar to locate the wreck, which had been lost since the ocean liner sank.

By exploring Titanic using remote-controlled cameras, Ballard and his crew discovered facts

about the shipwreck (such as the fact the ship broke in two large pieces as it sank) as well as

hundreds of artifacts, such as furniture, lighting fixtures, and children’s toys.

Underwater archaeology includes more than just shipwrecks, however. Sites include hunt

camps on the continental shelf of the Gulf of Mexico, and portions of the ancient city of

Alexandria, Egypt, submerged due to earthquakes and sea level rise.

Q6. Which option gives the correct order of the process followed by archaeologists?

12 | P a g e

A. Observe, apply evidence, record, dig a site, ask questions, interpret, share,

categorize, develop hypotheses.

B. Ask questions, develop hypotheses, apply evidence, dig a site, observe, record,

categorize, interpret, share.

C. Dig a site, interpret, ask questions, observe, apply evidence, categorize, share,

develop hypotheses, record.

D. Categorize, develop hypotheses, apply evidence, ask questions, record, dig a site,

interpret, observe, share.

Answer: Option B

Q7. What significant information did Dr. Robert Ballard discover about the RMS Titanic?

A. That the linear had broken into two while sinking.

B. That 1500 people were on board the liner.

C. That the ship had sunk in the North Atlantic ocean.

D. That children’s toys, furniture, and artifacts had also sunk with the ship.

Answer: Option A

Q8. Which of the following are underwater archaeologists most unlikely to find?

A. Evidence of previous excavations

B. Artifacts and prehistoric features.

C. Portions of an ancient city.

D. Remains of a shipwreck.

Answer: Option C

Q9. According to the passage, which was the research technology used by Underwater

Archaeologists to get the most effective visual feedback of the artifacts?

A. Remote controlled cameras

B. Miniature submarines

C. Sonar Technology

D. Scuba diving teams with cameras

A team of scientists at the university of Portsmouth in England has developed a new enzyme

that has the ability to break down plastics six times faster than standard enzymes; according

to CNN (1) in reducing the amount of non-biodegradable plastic on the earth

Enzymes have been used to help combat pollution by breaking polyethylene

terephthalate(PET) chain molecules, the most common thermoplastic that makes up everyday

items like single-use bottles, clothing and carpets.(2) . The first altered

enzyme was called PETase, which will now be connected with MHETase to create the

Q1. We want to estimate the cost of painting a property. Interior wall painting cost is Rs.18 per

square feet and exterior wall painting cost is Rs.12 per square feet. Take input as

1. Number of Interior walls

2. Number of Exterior walls

3. Surface Area of each interior wall in units of square feet

4. Surface Area of each exterior wall in units of square feet

If a user enters zero as the number of walls then skip Surface area values as User may don't

want to paint that wall. Calculate and display the total cost of painting the property.

Q2. A City Bus is a Ring Route Bus which runs in circular fashion. That is, the Bus once started at

Source Bus Stop, halts at each Bus Stop in its Route and at the end it reaches to Source Bus stop

again. If there are n number of Stops and if bus starts at Bus Stop number 1, then after nth Bus

Stop, the next stop in the Route will be Bus Stop number1 always. If there are n stops, there will

be n paths. One path connects 2 stops. Distances (in meters) for all paths in Ring Route is given

in array Path[] as below. Path = [800, 600, 750, 900, 1400, 1200, 1100, 1500] Fare is determined

based on the distance covered from source to destination stop as Distance d between Input

Source and Destination Stops can be measured by looking at values in array Path[] and fare can

be calculated as per following criteria: - If d = 1000 meters, then fare= 5 INR - (When calculating

fare for other distances, the calculated fare containing any fraction value should be ceiled. For

example, for distance 900, when fare initially calculated is 4.5 which must be ceiled to 5) Path is

circular in function. Value at each index indicate distance till current stop from previous one.

And each index positions can be mapped with values at same index in Busstops[] array, which is

a string array holding abbreviation of names for all stops as "THANERAILWAYSTN'= "TH",

"GAONDEVI"="GA", "ICEFACTROY"="IC") "HARINIWASCIRCLE"="HA", "TEENHATHNAKA"="TE",

"LUISWADI"="LU", "NITINCOMPANYJUNCTION"="NI", "CADBURRYJUNCTION"="CA”

Given, n=8, where n is number of total Bus Stops. Bus Stops =["TH", "GA", "IC", "HA", "TE",

"LU", "NI", "CA"). Write a code with function getFare(String Source, String Destination) which

takes Input as source and destination stops(in the format containing first 2 characters of Name

of the Busstop) and calculate and return travel fare.
